Show Us Your Rig [2]

[Maguscreed]

actually that's the thing my case has a strange airflow through it, look up the model in my specs and you'll see what I mean.
It's not a straight forward front to back airflow like you normally see.

I just believe the psu is the most overlooked part when building good rigs.
It's nothing against it, hell it looks better than my build. Which is a cable nightmare. More because I never bothered to tie them properly than anything...

I agree fully. Some also seem to think if its 1000w it must be good but they forget to check out the amps and see if it can even maintain power to their GPU for example. Always always always do your research before buying any component for your system.

(sorry for the thread hi-jack back on topic!)

When it comes to choosing the best PSU size for a new build, I always refer people to eXtreme Power Supply Calculator; it's clean and simple, easy to use, and has enough options to cover virtually any type of PC build.

Thanks for that the one I've been using is a tad outdated.

Hello Everyone,

I haven't been on here lately.. Nice PC setups everyone! Lots of variety.

I suck at cable management! I'm going to let a buddy do mine for me.

I think since I've been on here I upgraded a few parts.

Current Setup:

Antec Nine Hundred Case
AMD Phenom™ II X4
Biostar Motherboard (forget the model but the SATA ports are in a PITA spot!)
4GB Corsair DDR2 1066 RAM
Western Digital 250GB SATA 7200rpm Hard Drive
512MB 9800GTX+ video card
Antec PSU
Samsung 24" LCD Monitor (T240)
Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse
Basic Keyboard
Plantronics Headset

Hi, you have the same case as me, the Antec 900. It is not a very good case to do wire management because of the lack of holes on the motherboard tray. It only comes with two holes on the motherboard tray which aren't enough to hide your cables. So, you can't really blame yourself for not being very good at wire management.
Here's a tip: You can route your front panel wires under your motherboard, between the motherboard tray and the motherboard (having the motherboard on top of the wire). This is much easier to accomplish if you take out the motherboard and plan it all out.

Got mine all setup, and leak tested over night
480 on the top, and another hanging off of the back

Just need to get the other 2 waterblocks for the GPUs, waiting for the next shipment

Much better than before....

Good job

 

[brayway]

Haha yup, thanks!
Still got work to do though,
got to get the other 2 GPU blocks,
Some more fittings to tidy up that link between the current GPU block and the res
as well as the 2 fittings on the Pump i want to put right angles on there so i can face the pump the other way around in the HDD bay.

brayway,
Excellent work on the massive cooling project. Looks so clean for as much as is going on. Keep refining and posting pictures....thanks !

Looks awesome there brayway...

Recently got rid of my budget Rosewill case and picked up the Thermaltake V9 Black. I like it but it has NO cable management. The $35 Rosewill had better than this. Best I can do for now.

Just a little update on my build, today I added a AFT Pro 55U media card reader.

8 more G's of RAM for a total of 16 now.

The total set-up.

After over a weeks use the Corsair speakers still leave much to be desired so they will be replaced with the Klipsch Pro Media units I mentioned before. For anyone considering these I hope you try before you buy, there are much better offerings for significant less cost out there. I still have a few minor issues with the video card and I might start another thread on that subject. Over all though I'm very happy with my build.
